Kane bags double as Bayern tame Flamengo to set up PSG clash
Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich tamed Flamengo 4-2 in a tense affair at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday to set up a much-anticipated all-European quarterfinal against Paris St Germain at the Club World Cup.
Erick Pulgar's own goal opened the scoring for Bayern and Leon Goretzka was also on target for the German side, while Flamengo, who were defensively naive, twice reduced the deficit through Gerson and Jorginho.
Backed by a raucous crowd, Flamengo played with aggression but Bayern converted all their shots on target and reaped the rewards of a fast start, scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes.
'It was tough. We were playing against a really good side in difficult conditions, it was really hot,' Kane said.

Teko Modise urged Mamelodi Sundowns to leverage their Club World Cup success and aim for greater international achievements, highlighting the team's mental strength and potential for future growth. Picture: Gavin Barker, BackpagePix At the Club World Cup, Sundowns drew with Brazilian side Fluminense, pushed German Giants Borussia Dortmund all the way in a 4-3 defeat and were 1-0 victors against South Koreans Ulsan. It has to be said though, Sundowns are the dominant team in South Africa as they won their eighth successive league title in a row this past season. The former Bafana Bafana and Sundowns midfielder was heavy in his praise while looking to the future for the club. Following Mamelodi Sundowns ' exploits at the Club World Cup , the Pretoria side needs to build on the performances, believes Teko Modise. Modise Challenges Mamelodi Sundowns to Rise to the International Stage 'I would say the message is to the team, the technical staff, the management and everyone that is involved with Mamelodi Sundowns that now the world, the international stage knows who you are, can you go to the second?,' said Modise on Pitchside Podcast. 'For the players, those who didn't play and didn't participate, can you come back and actually participate and go further? I think that is the challenge I'm putting on the team, and I'm putting on the players.' Modise, who won the CAF Champions League with Sundowns in 2016, lauded the mental strength of the side. 'This is where we belong. We need to come back here, but there is a lot that needs to be done. To the players themselves, to everyone who was involved with this trip. I am very, very proud. 'We played our way, and we never panicked. We never showed any stress, and this is how we have to play. 'I'm very, very proud to be here, and I just hope that this experience is going to go to everyone in the team so that we can come back stronger next season.' @Michael_Sherman IOL Sport

Mamelodi Sundowns players urged to show caution as overseas offers come flooding in
CAUTION Mamelodi Sundowns players are advised to exercise caution with incoming international offers following their impressive performance at the Club World Cup, as highlighted by former South Africa youth international Kyle Timm. Picture: BackpagePix Former South Africa youth international Kyle Timm has cautioned Mamelodi Sundowns players from jumping at offers from international clubs which could come soon, following the side's strong performance at the Club World Cup. Timm, who coaches at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, has been vocal in the past about the neglect of MLS-based South Africans by Bafana Bafana historically. Coming into the premier club football competition in the world, the Betway Premiership champions were not expected to trouble some of the heavy hitters in the group. Instead, Sundowns beat South Korean outfit Ulsan HD in their first outing, competed strongly with German giants Borussia Dortmund before going down 4-3, and finally drew with the Brazilian side Fluminense.
